Aaargggh, no! >From the Buildroot manual: target/ which contains almost the complete root filesystem for the target: everything needed is present except the device files in /dev/ (Buildroot can?t create them because Buildroot doesn?t run as root and doesn?t want to run as root). Therefore, this directory should not be used on your target. Please enable a tarball root filesystem image, and then extract is as root on the partition of your memory card.
